Early and personal life
Miyata is a graduate of Yokohama High School. His name comes from the Fiat Ritmo, named as such by his parents as they were car enthusiasts. He was diagnosed with autism early in his childhood and was unable to adjust to school life during his kindergarten and elementary schooling years, spending much of his early life receiving counseling at various hospitals; he uses racing as a method of subduing his traits.{{cite web|url=http://ritmo-miyata.com/profile/|title=Profile - 宮田莉朋公式ウェブサイト|date=6 March 2020 |accessdate=2023-01-07}}

Early career
Miyata started his motorsport career in karting in 2004, winning the All-Japan Kart Championship KF class title in 2014. In 2015, after his 16th birthday, he made his formula racing debut in the Formula 4 Japanese Championship with the RSS team at the last three race weekends of the season. Despite his limited experience, he finished in the top ten in three of the six races, including a podium finish at Autopolis. He finished 15th in the standings with 24 points.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}}
= First Japanese F4 championship (2016) =
In 2016 he made his full-time Japanese F4 debut with Toyota-backed TOM'S Spirit. He won two races at Fuji Speedway and took podium finishes in three other races, and won the championship by just four points over Honda-sponsored driver Ukyo Sasahara.
= All-Japan Formula Three debut and second Japanese F4 championship (2017) =
In 2017, Miyata raced a dual program in Japanese F4 and the All-Japan Formula Three Championship, driving in both series with TOM'S (TOM'S Spirit in F4). He won his second consecutive F4 title with four wins and 11 podiums, including a sweep of the two races at Fuji during the Golden Week holiday. He defeated Sasahara for the second year, this time by a margin of seven points, while finishing 58 points ahead of third-place driver Yuki Tsunoda.
In his debut Formula 3 season, he achieved ten podium finishes and finished fourth in the championship with 79 points, behind Mitsunori Takaboshi, Sho Tsuboi and Álex Palou. At the end of the year he made his debut in the Macau Grand Prix, finishing 12th.
= All-Japan F3/Super Formula Lights (2018–2020) =
Miyata continued in All-Japan F3 for a second season with TOM'S. He won his first race at Fuji on 8 July, followed by a second win at Okayama on 28 July. These two wins propelled him to second in the championship behind his teammate Tsuboi, who won the championship and the other 17 races that year. Miyata finished 13th in his second Macau Grand Prix start.
He returned for a third season of All-Japan F3 in 2019. Miyata won eight races, including five of the last eight, but finished second in the standings again, this time to former Renault Sport Academy driver Sacha Fenestraz of B-Max Racing Team.
2019 was the last season for the All-Japan Formula Three Championship, which was renamed Super Formula Lights in 2020. Miyata returned for a fourth season in this category. Beginning with a sweep of the opening round at Twin Ring Motegi, Miyata won 12 out of 17 races and clinched the championship with a win in the penultimate race meeting at Suzuka Circuit.{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Ida |date=2020-12-06 |title=Miyata wins Super Formula Lights title at Suzuka with a round to spare |url=https://formulascout.com/miyata-wins-super-formula-lights-title-at-suzuka-with-a-round-to-spare/72114 |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=Formula Scout |language=en-US}}
Super GT and Super Formula career
= Super GT =
== GT300 (2018–2019) ==
Miyata made his debut in Super GT in 2018, driving in the GT300 class for Lexus customer team LM corsa. At 18 years old, he recorded his first podium finish at Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, where he and co-driver Hiroki Yoshimoto finished third.
LM corsa changed tyre suppliers from Yokohama to Dunlop in 2019, and Miyata returned for his second season. In the sixth round at Autopolis, Miyata took his first career win after a late-race charge from Yoshimoto to take the lead with four laps to go.{{Cite web |title=Rd.6 決勝GT300:終盤の猛追撃!SYNTIUM LMcorsa RC F GT3が大逆転で勝利を掴む {{!}} SUPER GT OFFICIAL WEBSITE |url=https://supergt.net/news/single/19510?ln=en |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=supergt.net}} Miyata and Yoshimoto also won both races of the auto sport Web Sprint Cup, a GT3 and GT300-only support race held during the inaugural Super GT x DTM Dream Race weekend at Fuji Speedway.{{Cite web |date=2019-11-24 |title=Miyata completes Fuji GT300 Sprint Cup double |url=https://us.motorsport.com/supergt/news/miyata-fuji-gt300-sprint-cup/4602040/ |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=us.motorsport.com |language=en}}
Earlier that season, Miyata made his one-off GT500 debut at the Fuji GT 500 km Race, when he substituted for Kazuki Nakajima at TOM'S, driving the number 36 Lexus LC 500 alongside Yuhi Sekiguchi.

In 2020, Toyota Gazoo Racing confirmed that Miyata would step up to GT500 full-time with TGR Team WedsSport Bandoh, driving the new Toyota GR Supra GT500 alongside Yuji Kunimoto. Miyata scored five top-ten finishes including a best finish of seventh place in round five at Fuji.
Miyata remained at the WedsSport Bandoh team for a second season in 2021. He scored his first pole position at the Fuji 500 km, and finished second at the following round in Motegi for his first GT500 podium. Miyata and Kunimoto would finish second again in the seventh round at Motegi, ending the season 11th in the drivers' standings.

After two seasons, Miyata transferred to TOM'S for the 2022 season. He joined the number 37 team, replacing World Endurance Championship-bound Ryō Hirakawa and forming a new partnership with his one-time F3 rival Sacha Fenestraz. The combination of Miyata and Fenestraz had an impressive season highlighted by both drivers' first career GT500 wins, during the Fuji GT 450 km Race in August. Miyata and Fenestraz finished sixth in the drivers' championship with six top-ten finishes and two podiums.
In 2023, Miyata moved over to the number 36 car, this time on a permanent basis with Sho Tsuboi as his co-driver. Miyata and Tsuboi won the Golden Week 450 km race at Fuji in only their second race together, then finished second in the following round at Suzuka. The pair won their second race at Autopolis in the penultimate round of the season, which gave them a seven-point lead going into the final race at Motegi. Late in the race, Miyata was running in second place, which would have given TOM'S the championship ahead of NDDP Racing drivers Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi. Takaboshi spun off while leading, and Miyata took the lead with five laps to go. Miyata and Tsuboi clinched the championship with their third win of the season.
This made Miyata the fifth driver to win both the Super GT GT500 and Super Formula championships in the same year, joining Pedro de la Rosa (1997), Satoshi Motoyama (2003), Richard Lyons (2004), and Naoki Yamamoto (2018 and 2020).
= Super Formula (2020–2023) =
Due to Kazuki Nakajima's commitments in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the travel restrictions mandated during the COVID-19 pandemic, Miyata made his Super Formula championship debut in 2020, replacing Nakajima at Vantelin Team TOM'S for two races. He qualified on the front row for his series debut at Okayama International Circuit, finished ninth in the race, then finished eighth in his second start at Autopolis.
After winning the Super Formula Lights championship, Miyata earned a full-time Super Formula drive with TOM'S in 2021, replacing the departing Nick Cassidy. Miyata had six top-ten finishes in seven races, and finished tenth in the championship with a best finish of fourth in a rain-shortened race at Autopolis. Miyata took another step forward in 2022, the last season for the Dallara SF19 chassis. He got his first podium finish, a third place, in the second round at Fuji. He finished the season with another third place in the final round at Suzuka, and was fourth in the final championship standings.
The new Dallara SF23 made its debut in 2023, Miyata's fourth season in Super Formula. In the third round of the season at Suzuka, Miyata took his first career win. He got his second win in round five at Sugo, ahead of two-time series champion Tomoki Nojiri. A third-place finish at the season-ending JAF Grand Prix at Suzuka was enough for Miyata to clinch the championship ahead of Red Bull Racing reserve driver Liam Lawson and Nojiri. Miyata scored a total of six podium finishes and finished all nine races inside the top five.
